Indagine su un cittadino / Investigation of a Citizen

[Dan8700]

I just imported the France Blu of this Petri masterpiece (I already owned the Italian one), so I compared them just out of curio: in short, the grain is better resolved on the Carlotta (encoded by McKenzie, methinks), so that "new" details surface here and there. Also, the Italian disc clearly have some gamma levels "issue", which makes the contrast worse. These are not great differences of course, but still worth mentioning, I think. The French encoding is also marginally better than the Criterion one. Cheers!

Note: the FR disc is not English-friendly. It shares two supplements (the Morricone interview and the Petri's wife-Cicogna interview) with the Italian disc, but doesn't have the 52' commentary and the very short interviews with Volontè.
